What is the balanced formula for mercuric oxide?

HgO. The single mercury cation has a +2 charge, and single oxide anion a -2 charge. Mercurous oxide would be Hg2O, ie, the mecurous ion is a dimer, therefore it has two mercury atoms, each with a +1 charge. Since the oxide ion has a -2 charge , mercurous oxide is Hg2O.


What is the formula for the compound Hg2O?

I'm pretty sure you have your formula wrong. Oxygen has a net charge of -2. So therefore, the equation must be written as 2Hg with a net charge of 2+ plus CO3 with a net charge of 2-. So, you do your math here, and the answer should be Hg3CO3

What is HgO2?

mercuric oxide That name is used as the systematic or common name for a compound. This compound is also known as Mercury (II) oxide due to the oxidation number of a transition metal being used in the IUPAC nomenclature. The compound, Hg2O, would, therefore, be known as Mercury (I) oxide or mercurous oxide.


What metal oxides decompose when heated?
